Whichever way "gives" in to the knife most readily

Slice across grain , normally parallel to already the cut end, it will fall apart otherwise !

is it a pig stuffed with a sheep stuffed with turkey stuffed with a duck?

I see a lone woman, a large knife and a hunk of flesh

yuck

f'kin' Nigella frickin' Lawson

I knew there was a reason I didn't make ham

bloody ham in coca-cola

wtf? tastes like salt (and its unsmoked)

ham always tastes salty ! you have to soak it or boil for a bit then change the water

well I wish I'd known that before blowing £8 then
